Mike Mitchell, better known for his directing work in films like “Sky High” and “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo”, is being tapped to direct “Monster Squad”. The Warner Bros Pictures feature was originally picked up as a spec by Brian Lynch in 2000 called “Nightcrawlers”. Ever since then, the project in question has gone through many screen writers but settled on “Wild Hogs” scribe Brad Copeland.
The project’s title was changed to “Monster Squad,” though it is not a remake of the 1987 Warners movie written by Shane Black (THR). Copeland is also attached to the remake of the 1986 film “Flight of the Navigator”. No word yet on when Warner Bros wants this film released, but there is speculation they want to start filming during summer of 2010.
